Forever series. A Sapphic Novel, Book 1, "Your my last," Chapter 22, by Asya Kaya.

 “Welcome to my fantasy K-pop fashion love story!"

Chapter 22. The tour starts, Los Angeles, USA.

The three girls managed to sleep well on the flight to LA and were met at the plane by ground staff of Japan Grand Airlines and they were taken through immigration, their luggage was collected and they went quickly through customs and through the main terminal out to a waiting van, they were whisked away to their hotel where the other girls were staying.

Jenny went over to the reception and picked up the key card for their suite.

The suite was nothing like Dink hotel, it was nice and comfortable, there was a knock on their door and Jenny opened door, it was Amber and Goo, Jenny said. “Hi girls, come right in.”

Amber and Goo came in and sat down on the lounge and Jenny went to get Chloe.

Chloe walked out of the bedroom and said in Korean. “Hi ladies, it’s good to see you both, everything good?”

Amber said. “The others want to have a meeting with you when you arrive.”

“Why, is there a problem?”
“Chloe, Goo and I have no problem with you, honestly there is only one person who is upset about all the publicity that you and Sam are getting, the rest of us are happy, all our shows in the US and Europe are already sold out.”

“Why is she upset, what we have done always promotes the group.”

“I agree, I am just letting you know.”

Jenny’s phone rang, after she finished the call she said. “Miss Chloe, we have been asked to go down to the meeting room, tour management want to speak to everyone, that includes Miss Sam and myself, Miss Amber you and Miss Goo need to go as well.”

Chloe walked into the bedroom, a few moments later Chloe and Sam walked out, Sam had her beautiful auburn hair out, hanging straight down, she was dressed in a white hoodie and track pants with Dink in red on the back and front of the hoodie and Dink down the side of the track pants, she was a picture of beauty, everyone else was in Ever Love clothing.

They left the room and went down to the meeting room, all the girls from Ever Love were in the room with their travelling companions.

Miss B who was heading the tour management group said. “Miss Chloe, we have had a complaint about you and your companion, that you spend to much time promoting yourselves and not Ever Love.”

Chloe looked at her and said. “Everything we have done has always promoted Ever Love, every news article and TV programs always says I am Chloe from Ever Love, I even went to dinners and was photographed in Ever Love clothing, I do not see what your problem is?”

Krystal said. “You flew off early to Japan instead of practising with us, this is our world tour too.”

“I think you should take that up with Mr Park, he was the one who arranged it, not me.”

Krystal said. “Look at your companion, she is not dressed in Ever Love clothing like everyone else in the room, why is she so special?”

Chloe took Sam’s hand and put it on the table, held it and said. “Sammy is not a member of Ever Love, she is my partner and she is contracted to Dink, she can wear their clothing if she wants to, another issue you should take up with Mr Park.”

“You two are trying to undermine the group and just promote yourselves, you are both so wrong.”

Chloe looked straight at Krystal. “Talk to Mr Park, he is aware of all we did, we promoted Ever Love.”

Krystal was about to speak, Miss B said. “Enough Krystal, I will be talking with Mr Park this evening, I will bring these complaints to him and I will get back to both of you, is there any other issues anyone has?”

Nobody spoke and she said. “Alright, then this meeting is over.”

All the girls stood up and started to leave the room, Krystal and her assistant were the first to leave, the other girls came over to greet Chloe and Sam.

Ash said. “Chloe, did you see all the billboards on the highway, so many pictures of you and Sam, I think that had more to do with her problem, you two are becoming bigger than the group.”

Chloe said. “Yes we did, it is very hard not to see them, we did not expect that, Dink is a huge corporation and is putting them up all over the world.”

Jules said. “Well, I think all the publicity that you two have generated has helped our tour, we are already sold out and we haven’t had one show yet.”

Chloe said. “She will calm down once the concerts start and all her fans are calling out for her.”

Amber said. “I hope you are right, let’s get something to eat.”

The first LA concert is tonight and Miss B had already relayed Mr Parks one word to Krystal, “Stop.” {그만하다 }

In the dressing room all the travel companions were helping the Ever Love girls get ready for the concert, Chloe was getting changed, Jenny and Sam were helping her.

The Ever Love girls were very excited to get the first concert over, it was time for the girls to go on stage, they all left the dressing room and walked around to the lift.

Sam and Goo were chatting when Jenny came in and said. “Let’s go out and watch the concert, here put this on.”

She handed them both a lanyard with the back stage pass hanging from it, they slipped it over their heads and walked out of the stage door, passed the security and around to the VIP section.

The stadium was packed full of screaming people, most were dressed in Ever Love clothing waving their illuminated yellow Ever Love wands, all Sam could see was thousands of the yellow wands waving against the dark mass of people.

The music started, lights started flashing, the confetti cannons exploded one by one with loud bangs, so much confetti was flying through the air being carried around the stadium by the warm breeze, the five girls came up though the stage and the crowd screamed even more, it was an experience most would never forget.

Once the first part of the concert was over Jules stayed on stage to do her two solo songs, all the girls sang two solo songs except for Krystal who sang three and then last was Chloe who came on and sang three songs.

When she finished Chloe left the stage and the others came back on stage to complete the last part of the concert, half way through the song Chloe came back on stage and joined the other girls as they launched into, “Fight for GL girls.”

Sometime later Jenny said to Sam. “This is last four songs, lets go around into the security section.”

Sam said. “Will it be ok?”

“Yes, come on.”

As they entered the security section one of guards said. “Good evening Miss Jenny.”

Jenny said. “Good evening Mr Chou.”

Sam asked. “Jenny, why are we doing this?”
“Your song is next, give me your lanyard,” Sam took it off and handed it to Jenny.

All the girls started singing “Your my last,” the crowd went wild, Chloe came over to where Sam was standing, got down one one knee and started throwing kisses at Sam and making heart signs with her fingers.

The cameraman came over to video Chloe and he noticed she was singing to Sam, he spoke into his microphone and told the cameraman on the ground to video Sam, then both Sam and Chloe were on the big screen, the stadium started screaming. “ChloeSam, ChloeSam, ChloeSam.”

On and on they screamed until the end of the song, Sam couldn’t stop smiling as Chloe stood up and ran over to the other girls and continued singing until the final song was finished, they all bowed and left the stage.

Sam, Jenny and Goo went back through the back stage door into the dressing room and when Chloe saw Sam she hugged and kissed her. “That was fun Sammy, help me get undressed.”

After Chloe was out of her costume she put on an Ever Love t-shirt and track pants, they picked up their bags and went out of the dressing room, Miss B saw them and called them over and said. “Whose idea was that?”

Chloe looked at her and said. “What are you talking about?”

“Whose idea was it to get Miss Sam’s picture up on the big screen with you.”

“No idea, you would be best to talk to the cameramen, I am tired, I want to go back to the hotel.”

“Wait, I am not finished, another complaint has been lodged.”

“I am not interested, talk to Mr Park.”

“I will, I am talking to him later.”

“Good, we are going.”

Chloe took Sam’s hand and the three of them walked out to a waiting van which took them back to the hotel.

Chloe said. “Come on Sammy, lets have shower together.”

Sam said. “Will Mr Park be upset?”

“I doubt it, we did nothing wrong, I think I could kiss you on stage and he wouldn’t be upset, take off your cloths.”

They both stepped into the shower and Chloe started kissing Sam.
